Don Otreply Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 It’s all about staying power, The Bills have been the AFCE champs once in how many years? Just making the playoffs isn’t good enough, yes yes, we are Bills fans but it is what it is, Go Bills!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 4 primetime games is nice. Like many here I do like the 1:00 start best. At the end of the day the Bills could play at 3:00 AM on a Wed night and I wouldn't care as long as the Bills win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I think the Bills got a good mix. Now they need to go 14-2 and next year it will be 5 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills will never be a league favorite and treated as royalty like other teams are. This team hasn't been relevant since the early 90's. It takes a few seasons to build credibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I just saw the guy and woman who are the primary team behind the NFL schedule, on NFLN, talking about the process. They specifically mentioned the Bills and said they knew they deserved as many prime time games and specifically home prime time games, as anyone. They said the reason we got 4 and not 5 was that we have the Thanksgiving game and therefore did not have another Thursday game. (I know that is not 100% true, since the Saints still got 5, but that was their reasoning) Personally, I am very happy with the schedule. When discussing the schedule a bit later in the show, the hosts said they felt the Bills should have had another primetime game.

wjag Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm just happy they dodged that long plane ride across the pond. Playing in jolly-ole is well just plain dodgy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints and Cowboys also have Thanksgiving Day games, and the Packers a Christmas Day game. The Bears, Vikings, Raiders, Colts and Bills each are scheduled for four primetime games." Four games is a pretty good balance of respect and not having to play a 5th game at a weird time. Getting a Thanksgiving game two years after the last one may be the sweetest plum in terms of respect from the league. That's the ultimate regular season marquee game. You almost have to wonder if they are trying to make the Bills TG Day Game a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 12 hours ago, Logic said: I'm not typically one to complain about lack of prime time respect from the league. I much prefer Sunday afternoon games to prime time games, any way. That being said, I'm just curious what justification there is for the Bills -- coming off a 13-3 season, an AFC Championship game, and featuring an electric offense -- having less prime time appearances than the likes of the 49ers, Seahawks, Ravens, or Saints. The Saints especially are quite puzzling. Jamies Winston and Taysom Hill really move the national viewership needle? Ah well. It is what it is. Just thought it was a little bit strange that some pretty cruddy teams and/or teams who had poor seasons last year get more prime time exposure than one of the top four finishers of the 2020 NFL season.

They also had strong ratings last year in primetime. That definitely is noticed by the league and networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippery Rubber Mats Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 4 is plenty. If we got like 1 or something, sure, something to complain about. 4 vs 5? Just looking for something to complain about IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt and GB aren't large markets but they have been getting a lot of primetime games for a long time now. Both have strong national appeal and bring in ratings. The Bills are like that to but the only difference is Pitt and GB have been winning for a long time now while BUF just started to have winning seasons again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is funny!!! Yeah they won the Off season signing period made some moves...how many times did the Bills do that and it didn't matter. You can have all the hot shots in the room you want but if they don't jell and play together and for each other it doesn't matter. The Bills proved that over and over again. Now we have less hot shots and more teammates looking out for each other. I will take that any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt and GB between them have how many SB's? THATS why......until the Bills get a few SB's they will be shat on.....not that I worry about these things.....
